Black Hearted Brother have an EP, Got Your Love, set for release tomorrow. The group is made up of Neil Halstead, Mark Van Hoen and Nick Holton. It is electronic, it is ambient, it is sort of shoegaze-y. You can check out the Ultramarine remix of the title track below. You might think "Ultramarine? Is this techno?"

Sylvan Esso have a new video for their track, Coffee. The group has been touring Europe with bands such as Wye Oak, tUnE-yArDs and Tycho and are now preparing to hit the road in the USA this May. Dates (and the video) are below.

The 1975 have a new remix for their song, Settle Down, by EMBRZ (free download). The band is heading out on a headlining tour of the USA and hitting festivals workdwide. Check out the remix, the tour dates and a video for the track, Chocolate, below.

Dates are also being added. I believe they will also be at Lollapalooza.

Barenaked Ladies are hitting the road this summer. Dates are below. These are just initial dates so keep your eyes open for more. The band is touring to support their latest, Grinning Streak, which is out now. Check out the video for the song, Odds Are, below.

The Everymen's second LP, Givin' Up On Free Jazz, comes out May 20, 2014. The song, Spain, is available for your perusal via Soundcloud.The band plays a ton of shows and 2014 will be no exception in that regard. New York and its environs will see them playing in April and May (dates below). A full blown USA tour is in the offing for the summer.

Craft Spells (aka Justin Vellesteros) last reared his musical head two years ago with the Gallery EP. His second LP, Nausea, comes out June 10, 2014 on Captured Tracks. The new LP was recorded in Seattle and is a wee bit different from Craft Spells' past.

Check out the song, Breaking the Angle Against the Tide, below. You can also download it free.

Codes has a remix out of the song Free By Rudimental. AS you might imagine you can listen to it below.There are also some live dates upcoming--three in Miami and one in NYC. All of these are likewise below.

Adanowsky is Alejandro Jodorowsky's kid. He apparently learned to dance from James Brown and had his first guitar lesson from George Harrison (lots of name dropping for two sentences huh?). His second LP, ADA, is out April 1, 2014. You can check out the track, Dancing On The Radio, below.

Myself? I am waiting for the movie about his dad's abortive attempt to adapt the book, Dune.

Plaid's tenth record, Reachy Prints, is set to come out May 20, 2014 on Mute Records. Check out a stream of the track, Hawkmoth, below. Plaid are always a fun twist on electronic music--always different, always distinctive. They've flown under the radar for a very long time but there is a pretty good chance they've influenced one of your favorite artists (especially if electronic music, that broad amorphous thing, is YOUR thing).

Chappo have a new video for their song, I'm Not Ready. As you might expect it is below for your perusal. The group's new LP, Future Former Self, comes out in May. Listening now. Have to tell you? Worth checking out (as close as Mapanare gets to a review).
